KANSAS NON-IRRIGATED ALFALFA IS HARDY—IS PRODUCTIVE 
Kansas-grown Alfalfa has, for some fifty years, given satisfactory 
results over a wide area. By official tests it yields well compared 
with other origins. 
Grown under semi-arid conditions, Kansas Alfalfa is subjected to 
climatic and moisture extremes — drought, blizzard, intense heat, 
sub-zero cold. To survive such conditions, the plants must be hardy. 
Weather conditions in the state of Kansas are such as to tend to 
eliminate plants which cannot take it. As heaving is one of the 
common causes of loss in Alfalfa stands, Kansas-bred Alfalfa has 
the background to give it resistance to such damage. 
Kansas Alfalfa fields generally are clean as to noxious weeds 
and the seed shows little contamination that cannot be eliminated 
by proper cleaning methods. Kansas Alfalfa shows no distinct 
susceptibility to plant diseases when compared with other origins. 
Official tests have proven it a desirable origin for states as far 
north as Wisconsin and Michigan. Alfalfa seed of Kansas origin 
has led our Alfalfa seed sales in volume for over 20 years. We 
have yet to receive any general complaint as to its performance 
in our trading area. We recommend Kansas-grown Alfalfa for 
your district. 
When buying Kansas Alfalfa, be sure it is of U. S. Verified origin. 
See that each bag has attached to it an official U. S. Verified 
origin tag.
